Tapped internal resources:
Pails of poetry....

Every Maple weeps
when tapped with loss of its own.
Even tall, strong ones....

touched your name
tapped a keypad
and frog-like-lilly-leaps
found me
fly-like with
accuracy
after so strong a bound...

Little by little befuddled
Overwhelmed; off track or muddled
Scatterbrained; astray and puzzled
Tapped out; tore up or bumfuzzled...

Tapped messages go out direct
With phones it's an easy connect
Thoughts from a finger
In cyberspace linger
But touching's too much to expect...

I tapped the poetry bin
Naught but an empty echo
The stillness of a blank wall
Decorated by a frozen Gecko

I know who you are
A terrorist living In my closest
tapped by greed
I feel you
Engaged you to become everyone'
blood drops
Of  nothing
For nothing
Bye...

Awkward sunrises confuse
A broken heart
And a window tapped outside
Cracks open to reveal
A staggering splendor
And taking in the scenery
I see
Me without you...

I feel like writing silly tales
About a typist who had long manicured nails
She tapped the typewriter so slow
Until her boss told her she had to go
To employ her was beyond the pale...

August spills rains
with tapped grains, like
pearl veins on roofs

Drenched in soft hue,
toes play new songs
of blue night’s chant

              but
          i love my
           tap tap
              tap
      almost tapped 
              out
          machine

          I meant
            pencil

          yes I did...

WORTHY WEALTH
In my dilemma
I saw no way to keep my Mama
On the wheel of wealth
And to keep my educational growth and health
But in the my furious fear of losing both
My Mama tapped me and said, ‘Akwasi, go to school’....

Autumn will soon be here,
With colourful leaves bared,
From the limbs of oak trees,
And-- the maple shall seep
Tapped of syrup so sweet,
Confection shall fill the air…
Such beauty makes one stare
As autumn fills the air......

His Brain Has Knapped

All other subjects Trump has scrapped;
Now how about by Obama being wire tapped?
More intelligence must have been lost
When all of his wires were totally crossed;
Forever we think his brain has knapped....

Kid, states is paid
Tapped your hand pad out
No grissle on the iron
Steam tears of fear
Preposterous approval
Applicants endure sub traction
Textworth of link sis
Under obligated
Your sheath
Envelopes back paying crime rent

Warming tears,
            wept from jilted skies,
      whorl the ocean’s patient soul. 
Fragile signs - unread, are everywhere;
   shoulders tapped by glacial ghosts,
            shrug in nonchalance.
                   … Que sera...

Paper art was tongue steeped wet,
Midnight’s swim in gel.
Tactile only silhouette,
Dense unseen new shell.

Dawn’s hot shower could not clean,
Midday’s warmth woke me.
Slow cures had tapped time’s canteen,    
Blotter’s spell rinsed free....

You affected me in a way 
easily compared 
to the tapping of a vein
Quickly, 
without hesitation
Waiting for the steady stream 
of blood 
you knew would come
Except you didn't tap a vein, 
you tapped my heart
And received 
my love 
instead.

A river that flows silently from one’s psyche
Fragile, tenuous, abiding

I sigh like a thirsty traveller reaching an oasis at dusk
A sailor welcomed into the bosom of a secure shore

I search unceasingly for meaning and words 
Marvel at creativity waiting to be tapped...

What madness is this?
Could you not resist~
Such a blow carried
Hard pressed on mine ears
As tapped without fist

I need not hear
Your words again
Give me time, now
To absorb them

'Tis not -- our
 first-- greeting
Such an end…

We’ve lost
One more

Friend…...

By-Tahera Mannan

A  gentle warmth tapped at my old door
Green leaves slipped out from under white
A sensual breeze caressed
The flowers and ripe fruits
His warm breath touched me
As our lips met
Butterflies
Softly
Blush

For Micheal’s ‘nonet me a spring kiss’ contest...

I know some may
prefer the way
  of folks direct, up front

Some love panache
forthright and brash,
  outspoken as you want

Some may prefer 
the crash and blur   
  of histrionics bolder 

But as for me 
I'd rather be   
  tapped gently on the shoulder
